...gold objects, but the government was able to rescue hundreds of rings, jeweled swords, wrist bands, fragile animal motifs of hammered gold. Experts guess that there may be scores more of such crypt treasures across the nation: only four months ago, a cache of 16th and 17th century crystal was found by workers excavating...

In many cases the action is similar. The transistor, the most famous solid-state device, is closely analogous to the familiar tubes in radios. Chief difference is that the electrons that make it work do not move across a pumped-out vacuum. Instead, they move through the tiny clear channels between the lined-up atoms of a germanium or silicon crystal, which provide a sort of readymade vacuum...
